          <h1>Sorting Items</h1>
          <p>You may sort the items in your reserve list by title, author, or
            by a custom order of your choosing, such as syllabus order. You may also
            add <strong>headings</strong> to further divide your class into syllabus order
            or subject/topic area.</p>
          <p>To sort by author or title:</p>
          <ol>
            <li>From the<span class="strong"> Manage Classes</span> tab, click
              on &quot;Sort my Reserves&quot; from the &quot;Quick Links&quot; box and select one
              of your classes from the following screen. Or, if you are on the
              &quot;Edit Class&quot; screen for your class, click on the &quot;Sort materials&quot;
              link just above the list of materials.</li>
            <li>On the sort screen, click on &quot;title&quot; or &quot;author&quot; in the &quot;Sort
              By&quot; box. The list wil automatically sort by title or author.</li>
            <li>Click &quot;Save Order&quot; to save the new order</li>
            </ol>
          <p>To sort materials in a custom order:</p>
          <ol>
            <li>Go to the sort screen as described in step 1 above.</li>
            <li>On the right side of your readings, you will see boxes with numbers
            	inside of them. These are the "sort order" your readings appear in. </li>
            <li>To change the position of a reading, simply type the new position
              number into the text box and hit the &quot;Tab&quot; key or click in a new
              box. The order number of all of the readings will automatically
              update to reflect the change</li>
            <li>Continue assigning numbers to the readings. If you make an error
              and would like to put the readings back in their original positions,
              you may do so by clicking &quot;Reset to Original Values&quot;</li>
            <li>When you are finished, click &quot;Save Order&quot;</li>
          </ol>
          <p>To add headings:</p>
          <ol>
            <li>From the "edit class" screen, click on the "add new heading"
            link, which is just above your list of readings on the left.</li>
            <li>On the next screen, in the box type in the name of the heading you
            would like to use, such as "Week 1" or "Byzantium". You can use any heading
            you want that you think would be useful to your students in identifying
            a group of readings that belong together.</li>
            <li>Click on "save changes and return to class." You will see your new heading
            show up in your list of readings as a divider with text in it. To position your
            heading where you want it to appear (for instance, above all the Week 1 readings),
            click on the "sort" link. You may use the custom sort numbers (described above) 
            to position the heading wherever you want.</li>
            <li>You may continue adding as many headings as you like and positioning them in
            your list of materials. You may wish to use the "save changes and create another heading"
            or "save changes and change heading sort position" links to make the process go more
            quickly.</li>
            <li>After you have added a heading, if you click on the "edit" link next to it on the "Edit Class"
            screen, you may add a note to the heading (such as, "All the readings for this week are required."</li>
          </ol>
